This book brilliantly illustrates that a moment of enlightenment or an earth shattering epiphany is by no means the end of one's path, but rather a reference point of yet another step forward, nothing more - we must still go back to applying that discovery into daily living (significantly more difficult, and fulfilling, than having that realization in the first place). I personally enjoyed how it strips all the bells and whistles from the spiritual journey and truly makes each path unique. You need not travel to a cave in the Himalayas to awaken, it can happen on the futon in your living room. Namaste.
